Welcome to the round table!

Where in the UK are you? Sounds like a great system you're putting in.

N.E.Lancs, sir.

I'm self installing ( with a sparkie mate) with the MCS etc to follow.
Being on the end of a loop ( detached but linked across the drive) means the DNO are having a look..
Might soon be able to legitimately use my wallbox (7.2kw) soon.
